ArcheAge already had some steampunk elements in it before, so this isn't really news. If you can't tell the cars are made to look steampunkish so I'm pretty sure it ties into the game and it's lore. It looks like they added car races to the game too which seems like it would be fun. ArcheAge is clearly not a medieval fantasy MMO since it has air balloons too. People that are complaing don't seem to understand that ArcheAge was never just a medieval fantasy MMO to begin with.

*Gasp* They added engines! How dare they - don't they know this breaks their own setting, which they have completely made up on their own and they are free to shape in any way they want. Oh the humanity!! Quick - somebody call the devs! Something is NOT REALISTIC in this video game!

lol, 100% the op will be playing the game and is just being a drama queen.

Games are supposed to be fun and don't have to make sense, that's what's so great about them.

Some of us play games for immersion, not for senseless shit that doesn't fit. If it's medieval era style, which it clearly was/is, it should not have industrial or modern influences (well, this is more than an influence with entire hotrods...).

Why do people who just go "LOLOLOL It's just a game" even play RPGs? You don't fill the role, you don't care about the immersion or the journey or exploration. Stick with console handholding, it's more what you're after I'd say.

Do you stop playing the game cause someone mention car/mobile phone/something immersion-breaking in chat too?

Seriously, that is the stupidest shit ive seen in my whole life! I really hated it when they added cars and motorcycles to WoW, and this is even worse. Yes its that bad that i prolly wont bother playing it now, since that shit will just piss me off everytime i see one ingame!

Once I seen the cars appear the first thought I had was "Am I back in Atlantica Online?" That games basically does the same thing. Big goofy ass cars and super motor bikes that have no business being in that time setting of the game. Is it a deal breaker? No. Will I re-think my decision of getting it? Most definitely. If they're okay with adding stuff like this, you can bet more will be added that has no business of being in the game.

Lol, like all these whiners are going to effect a Asia mmo, seem to me some of you think its your god given right to demand what an Asian mmo does with their own game. AA will be here and successful long after the whiners have left lol.

And who says Trion worlds will put these things in the western version of the game.

Don't like then stick to those boring ass games that you all seem to love ie GW2 as an example.

Its so funny to read some of these hate posts. I love these cars and tbh I am sick and tired of horse/wolves/etc mounts all the time. This will be nice change :)

Man just go and wait for your next awesome mmorpg, we wont miss you in in AA. Oh wait, you will not play the next big sandbox mmorpg either, cause they will have something immersive breaking too. Well... I guess you end up still playing UO in your 90s anyways. GL HF

It's our god given right to have an opinion as a potential customer. I don't expect anything to happen, but I doubt AA will be all that successful since it's even having problem in Korea keeping it's subs. Trion worlds will probably add this to the game because it's a "cool feature" if somewhat misguided.

The problem with adding cars and other dumb **** to medieval or steampunk games is that as a player, I stop taking the game seriously. Games like WoW have a bit more license because of the cartoony graphics and the overall light hearted feel of the game. However, the last to expansions they may have crossed the line.

Don't get me wrong, I will probably play AA for a while, but because of disco's and F1 cars standing alongside knights in armor, I will not treat this game seriously and therefore unlikely to play long term. A game like EVE on the other hand treat their aesthetics seriously and are very restrained to what can and can't be put into the game. They realize that it's more than simply immersion breaking, it shifts the way the game can be perceived by the players and it loses it's integrity.

I had to do some checking around because i thought this was a joke but i guess it is at least as real as beta goes.

The shimmy on this whole idea really has to do with the game itself.Apparently it is not suppose to be an all out Fantasy game but more in line with Steampunk.Imo it looks Fantasy but i guess maybe they want both in the same game.

Now i have no problem with any design approach but it has to at least look in line with the game.

I was listening to the podcast from Archeage source and i was surprised that they thought the car looks amazing,not ok but amazing.

I have to disagree totally,the car looks like a modern version of a sports/race car it does not fit Steampunk at all,if anything it looks like a model from the 1980's.it is a very simple model to draw and imo looks ugly and out of place in the game.

I always talk about graphics as they do matter a lot to me,It does not have to be HD but they have to be done right.

So now the two most promising games that have been on my radar are both leaning me away because of graphics.Wildstar is cheap cartoony and this game is just going out in left field without a glove.

Like all other Asian influenced games, they somehow have to completely ruin it with something that just doesn't make sense.

Anyway, I'm not here to gripe. I just want to know is there any other games on the horizon that have really interesting exploration with the added bonus of ships and nautical warfare? Preferably something that is medieval fantasy based.

Vanguard, where you get to build your own ship and actually walk around in it, and have as many people you can fit in and chill there as you sail.

But regarding this, I bet you, the game gonna do just as fine. I do dislike Asian mmos but we are talking about Trion as the game publisher here, and for the past 2 years as their customer, I just love their customer service.

Wait what? So you are saying, WoW is an exception to have a bloody motorcycle in a bloody medieval themed mmo? and an AA is not allowed to do that? Just because its an Asian mmo? How hypocrite can you get? Just because of the cartoonish graphic? Jesus Christ!! p.s I hate the idea of the damn Car that they added in it, could it be just another vision trailer like Aion did? Then again don't forget Trion so far is the best mmo publisher and developer in my agenda.

Read properly. I said WoW has MORE LICENSE because of the overall tone of that game i.e. cartoony with no desire for realism and I did mention that WoW may have overstepped the bounds in their expansion. I don't give a monkeys if it's Asian, European or American, in truth I didn't even think about it when I saw the car. All I care about is getting a good game that MAKES SENSE. Trion is not much of a publisher, they messed up Storm Legion and Defiance. They aren't bad games, but they aren't exactly great either. You talk rubbish, shoo.
